Underwear telephone stalker jailed!

A telephone stalker obsessed with underwear made a big mistake when a gym opened across the street from the apartment that he shared with his mother.

Paul Kavanagh was caught on film by detectives as he leaned over his London apartment balcony while making calls to the gym’s female receptionists.

This month Kavanagh was sentenced to two and a half years jail. He admitted to making 15,000 or so harassing calls to women asking them questions about their underwear. He’d call posing as a clothing researcher and claim to be gathering marketing data for a retailer.

Kavanagh had been making these calls for 12 years before he was caught. He’d usually start off his conversations with questions about the womens socks and sweaters, but then he would move on to their underwear and make lewd suggestions to his victims.

Judge Peter Testar concluded that Kavanagh had been “making these calls for the purposes of sexual gratification and, I must say to my mind, for the purposes of cruelty.”

The calls were all placed using unregistered pay as you go phones. When Kavanagh was finally caught he was, as stated above, targeting the female staff at the gym by commenting on their clothes and the way they wore their hair.

Kickstime is having a big sale!

Hey with the holidays coming up soon I bet quite a few of you are beginning to do your shopping. If you are you might want to visit Kickstime.com where you can take advantage of their back in business sale and get some great deals!

If you need to buy shoes for the kids or yourself take a look at their selection of Air Jordans, Bathing Apes and Air Dunks - both of which are on sale right now.

Of course they don’t just sell running shoes. They have a selection of Prada and Gucci shoes as well as Red Monkey Jeans, Evisu jeans, hoodies, shirts, handbags and hats.

The company is based in London, England but they ship world wide. I always appreciate an online store that offers international shipping. As well as shipping worldwide they ship for free!

Another thing that I like about this company is that there are several ways to contact them if need be. You can write to them using their postal address or by email or call their toll free number. Most online stores don’t offer a telephone number let alone a toll free one so I appreciate that Kickstime.com does this.

As I said if you are starting to shop for the holidays visit this online store. You might find an item that would make a perfect gift for one of your friends or relatives.

Protesting man lured from perch by topless photo

Did you hear the true story about how a woman lured her husband from a self made box that was perched on top of a 72 foot pole? No? Well he’d been up there protesting a looming jail term when his wife lured him down with a topless picture of herself that she’d included in the lunch that she’d sent up to him.

The hope and promise of a romp does it every time it seems.

2007_03_02t131817_300×450_us_germany_protest_topless.jpg Fred Gregor, 45 of Germany, was trying to have his 15 month conviction for fraud over turned by staying in his small cubicle which was perched high up on a converted television mast.

When interviewed over the telephone, he told Reuters that he wanted a new trial. His wife Susanne, 25, had originally backed up his protest until she eventually decided she’d had enough. Susanne is a former stripper. No wonder that topless photo worked! Together she and Fred are the parents of five children.

Perhaps now he’ll appeal his conviction just like most other people do when they feel that they’ve been wrongly convicted.

Spaniards crazy over plastic surgery

Did you know that in Mardrid Plastic surgery, dieting and homeopathy has become such a way of life that they are beginning to calculate the cost of these extravagances into their monthly budgets.

That’s right - Imagine if everyone in your country was suddenly setting aside a certain portion of their income for their upcoming nose job, tummy tuck, or diet products? They are adding these items up alongside their monthly electric and telephone bills.

Spain has one of the largest plastic surgery markets in the world, with local firms offering walk-in appointments and financing so people can pay off their nips and tucks over several months.
